There is also a 4* Imaginary character on the way Yukong but they could end up on the same banner as Luocha anyway.

All of these hidden missions are great, but I may be stuck on one. I got a message from Hook saying she was stuck at home doing homework, and it ended with me saying I would go there to help her and she agreed. No mission kicked off, but I have found her hanging around north of fightclub with no mention of homework. Is there somewhere else I can go, or is it just a dead-end conversation? I have no idea where her house is, and these messages usually go somewhere though.

all of the companions also have interactions where they have a little chat with you and then you get 5-10 jades

there's no quest follow up its just for flavor

how much money would this actually cost

There's a lot of factors going into it, depending on how early you hit a 5*, if you win the 50/50, how many 4*s you pull during it (because if you have them capped each one gives you 1 additional roll if you use it for that) but my total ended up being ~310$, but almost all of that was in gift cards from my job. If you lost every 50/50 and hit full 90 pity every time the cost is about 2000$, so it can be insane.

I would never go that hard on a gacha ever, I only went hard on Seele because I really liked the arc + I hit E2 extremely luckily. I was gonna go E4 and then that came super fast too so I said heck it and used the rest of my gacha gift card budget on E6ing her. These games are brutal if you chase, especially without thinking about it.

I love the texts and I am going to be sad when they drop up. I hope they stealth add some in and not just in patches if there is a finite amount we may reach. I look forward to them each day and it makes the game feel even more alive compared to something like Genshin. You feel like you actually made friends along the way instead of like "well it's time for Venti to show up and say 6 lines once every 5 months" or something

It’s amazing how little things like this can make such a huge difference in terms of immersion.

I hope other rpg designers are looking at this game because there’s a lot of smart things the game is doing that I would love other rpgs to implement.

After the nightmare of World 3, World 4 was basically free. Felt like a reward for getting that far.

I also got the 5* healer Light Cone from the standard banner, which seems extremely good. I'd have preferred a character but Natasha actually adding some team support DPS is nice.

Now I just need to decide which Herta cone to get. Is there any consensus on priorities for those? Tempted to go for the Hunt one for More Seele Crits.

Hunt is probably best of the lot. Destruction sounds good but ATK% buffs are kinda bad. And the Preservation one is just kinda mediocre.

Main problem with the Preservation one is that as far as I can tell, the BP one is extremely sick, and I'll probably buy the BP since this game rules.

An Amber Era is closer to a century than a year, so the broadcast was more like the tone of "happy new millennium!" or whatever from 2000. That's actually why I looked up Amber Eras in the first place, since there's a line in the prologue where Kafka comments that Herta was active in the previous Amber Era and therefore must be over a hundred years old.

She does not. What worked for me was hard focusing on survivability/Preservation above all else. I was set up to the point that he basically couldn't kill me, so I eventually won by attrition. It was a long battle.

the icy one apparently breaks the game if you go all in with march+pela+icy-budget-seele-boy and just hard stun even W6 but that's definitely more making use of your rolls then a strat

I play on Steam Deck via Moonlight about 90% of the time myself, but unlike Genshin the game doesn't play too badly on mobile. Looking forward to PS5 version anyway to cut out the middleman when I don't specifically need it to be portable.

You currently have two single-target DPS/nuke characters in your roster, with phoenixgirl and !lancer. If you have played with both of them but feel you're still lacking in the crucial single-target burst DPS role, pull away.

If you feel fine with your single-target damage output, hodl imo, but definitely at least play seee's trial a handful of times to decide whether you really like the character/animations/lines/etc first.

Pull with your heart over the meta, always.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

in terms of the meta the character after seele is an insanely strong aoe damage dealer that also has strong single target so he seems like hes going to be really good, and silver wolf and kafka both look cracked, silver wolf especially

but just pull for who you want

My only annoyance about it on mobile is that the camera controls are just like, the top half of the screen and that's slightly annoying when I want to move and look at stuff. So yeah, it'd be real nice to have it on playstation instead of the stupid way I've got it on pc.

The radio thing was cool, except I found it when I wanted to turn off the game and instead I was standing around looking at a weird flat hologram radio for like 10 minutes. Since that triggered when I'd finally almost finished iceland, I assume the 'neat trick' is that the amber eras will pass faster as the game progresses, because you're doing stuff and that's probably related to whatever that god's trying to wall out.

It's a slight misrepresentation, basically for online tournament play you have to download a specific branch client of valorant, you don't use the live game. Dude was so busy playing Star Rail that he forgot to start the download, and by the time he remembered it wasn't downloaded in time for the game's start.
